Do You Need a Tennis Racket for Wii Sports Tennis? No - Wii Remote Is the Racket

No. The Wii Remote is the controller—you swing it like a racket. MotionPlus adds precision.

Optional: Plastic racket shells (Wii Tennis Racket accessory) snap onto the Remote for feel/immersion, but don't change gameplay.

Play with just the Remote, or add MotionPlus + shell for realism.
